Abstract
We report here a 5000-year record of large floods on the Choral River in central Narmada Basin. Geomorphic, stratigraphic and hydraulic stud ies provide evidence of floods with peak discharges greater than 4500 m3 S-1 in the last 5000 years. The flood record from the Choral River is the longest yet discovered from any river basin in India.
